Anything above the minimum spec will run the game fine, the sliding scale between the 3 sets of specifications are the quality of the graphics and the smoothness of frame rate.

http://users.erols.com/chare/video.htm <- check your graphics card on this list to see what Pixel Shader etc your card supports. Shader 2+ means you can enable the high resolution textures and features.

Yessssss.... The game will work on my computer...
But I'm going to add more 512MB RAM so I'll have 1024MB!!!
It's great....
Thanks Shehi!!!

[Shehi]

Lol, actually thanks go to Jay @ Eidos Anyway, you are welcome!

[nicfree]

So does that mean that i cannot play the game if i have an INTEL EXTreme 2 grphica card without TNL!!!

[Shehi]

Of course you can't. Intel graphic cards, those mainly which are onboard coming with new motherboard are completely useless for modern gaming. If you want to play some decent 3D game, you must definitely buy a new graphic card meeting today's graphic standards.

how utterly disgusting! thx anyway

Sorry if my comments offended you in any way, just wanted to be helpful http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif Well, I presume Intel created the set of those cards for mobile computers mainly, as you can see it almost all Intel powered notebooks including Sony VAIO's; Dell Inspirons, Latitude's; ASUS notebooks etc etc. And eventually it made its way to desktop PC's as well. They are perfect for daily life computing, including word processing, internet surfing etc, but when it comes graphically intense stuff, it definitely sucks.

Are you sure you have Intel Extreme2 Graphics? When you start you computer, the first thing shown on monitor is your graphic card - an in your display settings. What they say? Coz Intel cards are useless and they don't feature any Pixel Shader or Pixel Accerrating features. Strange...

actually i am sure and i don't really need shaders to cover up for animation.

have played AOD several times at ifferent PC configurations and it goes better without the shaders (i was very surprised by that)

Hi there,

I would like to know why the "good one" graphics didn't work to me in tomb raider legend. I've got ATI Radeon X700 PRO, 1GB Ram 3,2GHz CPU etc etc...
A friend of mine has got nVidia FX5200 and that option works! Is there anything that I can do to fix it?
Is it so bad to have ATI graphics card?

Thank you very very much:)

Hey Nobodone,

Neither your card, nor your friend's GeForce FX5200 is capable of full graphic support for next gen of Legend. Actually, as far as I know yours is a much better card than FX 5200 one as I used both of them in past. Back to Legend: I have P-4 3.2 GHz PC with 2GB (667MHz DDR2) RAM and Radeon X1600XT card - and I can't play Legend with ALL graphic features enabled as HIGH. My antialiasing and anisotropic filtering all are on 2x mode, but still in open spaces game sucks - e.g. start of Ghana level, Kazakhstan level etc. So don't worry if you can't play game with all of its graphic power - Legend is really a high-end game on that matter.

Hope it helps http://forum.tombrai...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[Nobodone]

Thank' s very much for your time Shehi! I think that something like antialiasing isn't good enough for Legend. Another friend of mine has nVidia 6600GT (worse theoritically than yours), the same RAM and the same CPU as me... and he can play Legend with ALL graphic features enabled as HIGH and as next generation content!!! I played tomb raider 7 in his pc once more! It' s great! Thank' s again, you would have been very helpful if I read your answer a month ago.
